Finding the nearest Apollonian gasket
Given a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $n$ points in the euclidean plane, how can a set $\mathcal{V}$ of $n$ vectors be determined, that has minimal length-sum and renders $\lbrace p_i+v_i\rbrace$ to be the cen …

Extremality of Triangles with Corners from Planar Convex Hulls
I am looking for proofs of or counterexamples to the following assumptions:
if the corners of a triangle are chosen from a compact subset $\mathcal{S}$ of the Euclidean plane then all three corners …

Constructing a polygon of $n$ facets from a set of positive values representing the length o...
No, it is not always possible, because it is not always possible to partition the (cyclic) sequence of edge-length into 3 portions of adjacent edges, for whose sums the triangle inequality holds; e.g. …

Algorithm for Finding all Empty Ellipses Locked by a Set of Points
Is there an algorithm for reporting all empty ellipses, that are locked by a finite set $\mathcal{P}$ of points in the euclidean plane?
An ellipse is considered empty, if no inner point is an elem …

Convexity of the Voronoi cells of higher-dimensional polyhedra
let a convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ in $E^n$ be defined as in the tag-description with the additional requirement that their volume be strictly positive.
let further the Voronoi Cells $VC(f)$ of $\mat …

Constructing a polygon from another with collinearity constraints
Let $P$ be a closed polygon defined by the sequence
$p_0,\,\dots,\,p_{n-1},p_0$ of points.
Question:
how can one construct, with straightedge and compass alone, another sequence of points $q_0,\,\dot …

Has this curious "duality" of weighted $K_4$ already been noticed?
A complete symmetric graph with $n=4$ vertices, i.e. a $K_4$ is the disjoint union of three perfect matchings $M_{\text{min}},M_{\text{mid}},M_{\text{max}}$ of which $M_{\text{min}}$ denotes the light …

Has this curious "duality" of weighted $K_4$ already been noticed?
This should rather be a comment, posting it as an answer is to give a visual clue that there is something in the vein of a proof.
Elaborating on Timothy Chow's insightful comment it suffices to consid …
